Rebook Cen A on T32 as evening reservation 749302; document quota-driven booking order

- Reservation 749302 created and grid-verified: T32, night of 21 Jul SSO,
  18:50-21:50 local (08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul), plan cena-t32.txt, est ~350 pts
  at the corrected x1.6 rate with 25% moon discount (46% moon ~30 deg away).
- The original queue slot (00:35-03:35) was an astronomy error: T32 has a
  35 degree elevation floor and Cen A culminates ~17:10 SSO local in late July,
  sinking to ~11 degrees by midnight. Evening is the only viable window; noted
  in the ledger so the mistake is not repeated.
- Reschedule flag confirmed to never stick (second booking posting
  RescheduleCheckbox=on that renders as No in the grid): every reservation is
  one-shot, verify the morning after.
- Quota math recorded: 5h20m of 8h held; queue #2 (cra-t8) plus the free T33
  47 Tuc retry must wait for the Cen A run to release its 3h (~11:50 UTC
  21 Jul). Full remaining queue at corrected rates ~2,530 vs 2,257 balance:
  Phase 3 needs a ~270-point trim once real bills confirm the rate model.
